He’s a Manchurian candidate.

I wish it was like the I phone madden game where we could have another player eat him and gain a few training points
 
Allow me to correct an earlier error. I watched the play numerous times before, but I watched it again slowed down and it became clear that Richards wasn't off balance due to being shoved by receiver. The arm I kept seeing actually was hitting McCourty.

I still think the picture is misleading in the sense that the whiff didn't occur as it insinuated. Instead, his poor positioning made a hapless lunge the only possible outcome. Either way, it was completely on him and his error was worse than McCourty's.

Despite this change, I still think Devin deserves a significant portion of the blame... just a smaller slice than I said earlier.

EDIT: See, this is exactly what I mean.



By the time Richards took McCourty out, a tackle was already impossible. It was his own mistakes that caused Devin to miss his chance to shove Juju out of bounds.

We've seen McCourty track down runners in pursuit time and time again. He got totally taken out of the play because of whatever that was that Glitch was trying to do. That's all on Glitch. Not McCourty.
 
Poor tackling mechanics and not using the sideline as an extra defender.

This is basic football, but at a Pop Warner level.

Make. The. Tackle.

Just push the guy out of bounds, or make him cut back to McCourty.

The lack of situational awareness makes me think the Stanford grad's football IQ is not very high.
